What DAVP is for

The Distressed Asset Verification Platform (DAVP) is a private intelligence cockpit for evidence-led triageof companies in stress: insolvency signals, filings, charges, officers, and geography — so analysts can move from "noise" to a defensible operating picture before committing resource. It is built for deal teams and analysts who need traceability to source data, not a generic CRM.

Companies House REST and streaming integrations (when configured) feed live public data; optional demo data helps you explore workflows without keys.

Quick start

  1. Sources (/source-config) — add Companies House REST and streaming API keys. Keys are stored server-side; they are not shown again after save.
  2. Overview (/) — use Populate demo operating picture for synthetic leads, or Fetch & seed companies with real UK company numbers (live REST pull when a key is configured). That control is only on Overview, not on Sources.
  3. Lead Radar (/leads) — triage the portfolio; open a lead for the dossier.
  4. Dossier & map — reasoning, evidence, and geography views for a single lead.
  5. Rule engine — tune scoring and gates as your playbook evolves.

Authentication

For a live AWS account + password, use Amazon Cognito (see repo doc docs/COGNITO_LIVE_AUTH.md and scripts/cognito-bootstrap.ps1): CloudFormation parameters EnableAppAuth, OidcIssuerUrl, OidcAudience, then Sign in with a Cognito IdToken. The UI stores it in localStorage (key davp_access_token) and a matching short-lived cookie so server-rendered pages can call the API. Hosted UI / PKCE can replace paste flows later (docs/AUTH_LOGIN_ROADMAP.md).

This About page stays reachable without signing in so purpose and quick start remain visible on locked deployments.
